### 36.1 Understanding table cell settings

You use [Tables] settings to specify WAI attributes that associate table cells with rows, row groups, columns, and column groups. These settings apply to all tables in your document. You can use corresponding [TableAccess] settings to override many of them for selected tables. To specify different [Tables] settings for all the tables referenced by a single ditamap, you can include those settings in a configuration file named after the ditamap file; for example, Chap2.ini. See §42.1 Using a different configuration for selected files.

DITA2Go generates identifiers for each cell from the [Tables] settings, to associate the cell with the specified parts of the table. To avoid duplicate cell identifiers when an output file includes more than one table, DITA2Go adds to each identifier a string that is unique to each table in the file. For example, all identifiers in the first table in the file end with t1, those in the next table end with t2, and so forth.
